Our Verdict

Cherry MX Blue

Gateron G Pro 2.0 Blue

Cherry MX Blue and Gateron G Pro 2.0 Blue are similar clicky switches with click jacket designs, which means they only make a clicking noise on the downstroke. The Gateron switches are also somewhat smoother out of the box since they come pre-lubed from the factory. They also have a clear upper housing for better RGB illumination.
